Book excerpt: Stories and hand me down stories about the historic Bolivar Point Lighthouse in Port Bolivar, Texas, and a 5 year photographic portfolio of the old tower in all kinds of weather, showing how 150 years have caused long term damage requiring a major renovation of the privately owned structure. The Bolivar Point Lighthouse Foundation was established with the goal of raising the required funds to repair the tower and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated for the preservation of the lighthouse. Built in 1872, the lighthouse survived the 1900 Great Storm, the 1915 hurricane and Hurricane Ike and all the rest that hit the Texas coast in 150 years. Ancestors tell stories of how family members survived the 1900 Storm on the iron circular staircase leading to the light at the top of the tower. Others have stories of climbing to the top when the lighthouse wasn't in use to drop firecrackers from the 117 foot structure and others remember a movie starring Patty Duke that was filmed at the lighthouse. A short history with old photographs is also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of the great American lighthouses, their keepers, their histories, and their ongoing stories For more than two centuries, lighthouses have helped sailors find their way through treacherous waters, guiding them home or taking them safely through passages on their way to adventure. These historic towers and houses form a sparkling chain of lights along our coasts, a reminder of the past echoing with adventure and mystery, a lure for travelers looking for a glimpse into a romantic past. Completely revised and updated, American Lighthouses offers more than just a tour of 450 beautiful and historic navigational beacons dotting the coasts and lakes of the United States. This fully illustrated, one-of-a-kind handbook details their history and architecture and provides full information on visiting or viewing them. Included are many endangered lights, threatened by erosion or lack of funding, as well as “ghost lights,” which are no longer standing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When no one else believes her, will a WWII pilot save her from the enemy? It's 1942, and WAAC Corporal, Pauline Lopez, is on sentry duty atop the Bolivar Point Lighthouse. Her job: to search for German U-boats, or submarines in the Gulf of Mexico responsible for sinking supply ships intended for U.S. Forces. When Pauline calls in enemy activity, the report is deemed a false alarm, and her reputation in the Women's Army Auxilliary Corps is soiled. After meeting Pauline at a USO function, Army Air Corps pilot Captain Frank Chessher doesn't believe she deliberately called in a false report. He launches an investigation to clear her name, but he can't stop the rumors, and he can't force his fellow corpsmen to trust Pauline's reports. The next time Pauline sees something that she knows is an authentic enemy attack, armed Nazi sailors are heading for Fort Travis where German POWs are being held. She calls Harbor Defense, but they refuse to help. No one is coming to rescue her. Will Frank hear her Mayday call? Can he make it in time to save her from the enemy, or will she become a casualty of war?

This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What Moby-Dick is to whales, Brilliant Beacons is to lighthouses—a transformative account of a familiar yet mystical subject." —Laurence Bergreen, author of Columbus: The Four Voyages In this "magnificent compendium" (New Republic), best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin presents the definitive history of American lighthouses, and in so doing "illuminate[s] the history of America itself" (Entertainment Weekly). Treating readers to a memorable cast of characters and "fascinating anecdotes" (New York Review of Books), Dolin shows how the story of the nation, from a regional backwater colony to global industrial power, can be illustrated through its lighthouses—from New England to the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Lakes, the Pacific Coast, and all the way to Alaska and Hawaii.
